Basement Waterproofing - Waterproofing will strengthen the structural integrity of your home’s foundation by alleviating the hydrostatic pressure created by the earth surrounding your basement walls. At City Residential Foundation Repair, we specialize in waterproofing basements by installing system Platon, sealing with termination and seal also install a new exterior drainage system designed to correct foundation leaks and prevent wet basements. Then backfill with grandular and reinstate any greenscaping.

First, we excavate the soil surrounding the walls that require treatment to expose the footings. If foundation cracks are found, they are repaired with KING hydraulic quick dry cement. We then wrap your foundation with a platon membrane, made from environmentally friendly, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and seal it with a urethane calking. Lastly, the walls are backfill with granular ¾” clear stone – a material that doesn’t hold frost.

Weeping Tile Replacement - A weeping tile is a porous pipe used for underground drainage. The pipe is typically plastic with small slits cut lengthwise into it, which allow for the collection of excess water from the ground. Rocks are placed around the weeping tiles to prevent the pipes from getting clogged with dirt. The purpose of the weeping tile is to allow excess moisture to seep through the gravel, be collected by the pipes, and then drained away from your home’s foundation.

Many older homes have weeping tiles made of clay. After decades, these weeping tiles can become blocked, which can potentially cause basement flooding. If this occurs, the only solution is to have your weeping tiles replaced with new perforated plastic drainage piping. This required digging down to the footing of the house to remove the old tiles and have new ones installed and install platon waterproofing systems on the exterior walls and seal with termination and caulking.

Foundation Crack(s) - Foundation cracks are often caused by changes in the moisture content of the soil around your basement. Foundation damages can be a nightmare if they are not addressed and corrected by a professional!

The experts at City Residential Foundation Repair will ensure the concrete cracks in your foundation are corrected by digging down approximately 8 ft. to the footings at the site of the crack, chipping away the damaged foundation, and then patching it. Then we install a platon system and then backfill with grandular.

Perimeter excavation(entire house) - Flooded basements, mold, mildew, and dampness are all signs of foundation problems. Unfortunately, finished basements can hide the damage until it becomes extensive. In cased such as this, a larger linear dig may be required.

By excavating all the soil surrounding your basement walls (up to 8 ft. deep) the experts at City Residential Foundation Repair will identify the exact foundation problem and provide you with options.

Parging (concrete surface refinement) - Parging is the process of applying a thin coat of mortar over concrete to evenly refine the surface your home’s exterior walls. The purpose of parging is to create a contiguous surface by filling any air holes and smoothing out any roughness. Not only does parging improve the appearance of your home, it also helps protect the wall from rain and snow.

I’ve worked with Renco twice now, first in late fall when I had a surprise leak and needed a quick interior patch and again in the summer with an exterior follow up. I received a number of quotes but found Terry’s to be the clearest in terms of the required work, with a scaleable job that met my needs. Both times I worked with Terry he and the team were super reliable and communicative. Many of the other foundation quotes I got didn’t provide this level of communication or seemed to care about diagnosing the issue. We had a number of questions about the impacts of the work and all were addressed clearly. No waiting around and the job itself went very smoothly. He also threw in free landscaping which was really appreciated. Thanks again Terry and to your team, we’re super happy with the job!


Excellent and timely service at a very fair price.Terry found the crack nobody could find and sent someone to repair it within a week. It was in a tight spot behind my furnace, which required disassembly. He got an HVAC guy out to disassemble and reassemble the ductwork when he was done. Ty, the technician, did a beautiful repair job, and a perfect clean up. It looks way better than it did even before all of this happened. I'm so happy with the service and the rapport with Terry and all his contractors.Recommend 100%.

We worked with Renco Home Improvements to repair a small foundation crack in our unfinished basement which had just started leaking and which needed to be repaired from inside the house. The job required removal of drywall and insulating materials in order to access the full length of the crack. Terry, the owner, responded very quickly to our request and scheduled the work very promptly. Ty, the technican, did a great job. He explained the process every step of the way and was very methodical in executing the work. All went very smoothly and once the crack was properly repaired, Ty replaced all insulating materials and drywall and left the whole work area very clean. It was a pleasure to work with Ty and we are very happy with both the process and outcomes. We won’t hesitate to work with Renco again.

Very happy with the whole service! I had a basement foundation crack repaired quickly effectively and with very polite and capable craftsperson.I Highly recommend, easy to work with and prompt service at a great price. Thanks Reno!

Over the course of a basement reno, we discovered two basement walls that were bowing from hydrostatic pressure. We contacted a few companies and Terry was the most responsive from the get go in working with us and an engineer to identify a practical solution that was cost-effective.Terry's crew showed up everyday during the repair process and he was extremely responsive throughout. Dealing with a problem of this type for the first time as homeowners, he was always available to answer our questions and provided clear explanations.

Terry is very patient. He explained what the procedure was for repairing cracks in the foundation of my home. The quote I was given was accurate and so easy to pay with an e-transfer. The workers that came into my home were professional and explained what they were doing. They worked quietly and cleanly. 100% recommendation of RENCO.
